The most profitable farm.. ever?
awmiscool
Okay, so lets say, theoretically, that i had about.. 1 month to farm anything for about 8 hours everyday. What form of farming would be the best to do? 55? 330hp monk? If i could play all that time, putting loads of hours into the game, what class/build would be the best for someone who has a load of time like that?
pipo
i would say do DoA runs :P
they are less boring and at the end of 3-4 runs you have enough gemstones for an armbrace of truth.
this would mean every 2 days an armbrace .
this would make 15 armbraces in a month :P
and that would make A LOT of money

UW HM runs ursan r10 only take 30-40 mins w/ exp group. Each run 10k guaranteed + the occasional r9 perf storm bow so averages 30k/hour for me.

True story : I switched to pve for a while when it was close to the end-year holidays ( 2007-2008 ), mainly because that period guildmates become inactive for pvp.
From nov/03/2007 to dec/10/2007 I got 120 ectos and 23 shards farming an average of 2 hours/day of solo UW and FoW with my warrior using adequate builds for each map ( you can find both builds using the search engine ). IMO those are the best farming spots to go solo ( FoW is pretty fun also, less profitable tho ).

FoW isn't worth farming until shards go up.

I got a little more research to do,but I think I have hit a spot that can nail about 65k gold an hour.Will give an update on this once it has proven to be consistent and constant.

Try the good old Uw 55/ss Combo. In a month I can net about 1mill if I wanted to in ectos and sell them.

i like running my ele through the raptors, at about 4-5 hours a day, i made aobut 100-150k in a week. nice money imo. if you had an ele
thibault the monk
i think doin CoF runs u could make a lot, with selling and getting group takes about 1 hour per run total, 20k per run avg, 8 hours a day and 30 days a month u make 4.8 million by the end of the month plus at about 8 golds with opening chests thats 1920 golds for wisdom title 
Mister Me
yea, CoF is really nice money, if you're very good at it you can complete it under 40 minutes
chemical range
CoF Runs - Takes me around 40-45 mins to run. at the end i make 20K -30K on average. That is if i don't get good drops. In a day i usually end up making 100K+ with doing 3-4 runs. ( I'll give today as an example - did 2 runs and made 100K. I got 40K in cash from quest, money paid and junk i pick up. 60K came from gems, diessa chalices, golden rin relics and polymock drop. )

The most profitable farming spot ever was Urgoz Warren right after Hard Mode was released. The very day of the release a guildie of mine discovered that the Hopping Vampire's and Thought Stealers could be farmed for Max damage gold Zodiac Weapons. The run took less then 30 seconds so if you loaded fast you could get 2 runs a minute. My best run I got 4 max gold zodiacs. The profit came from testing for desirable mods before I sold them as Unid'd. This farm spot was nerfed only weeks after the release of Hard Mode due to someone posting it on these forums. In those 2 weeks I made around 2 million gold only farming for 2-3 hours a day.

in my opinion the key for effective farming is having a lot of characters and farmspots. According to Anet, they deleted the Anti-Farm code (less loot after rezoning), but after my expirience, it's still alive.
I farm with 5 characters, about 5-20 builds/spots for each char. Choosing from different farms also makes it more fun, which will be quite important if you really want to spend 8h/day farming (ur serious about that? Oo)

get a rl job for a month, save all your money, and then ebay all the gw gold you can with the money you've saved.

^ by that logic I make more money in GW than I would be making in RL -__-

so that A-Net can nerf it ? :P bad idea
and big kudos to you it proves to be consistent, even 30K an hour would be amazing

ever may have been protective bond craze ectos farming when they were still 10k each. or buy gold ^^. UW HM if you can get a fast group. or DoA HM. Try to recruit a core team for things like that, people that are doing it for profit, not statue. so find 5 10/8 ursan and 3 /8 hb monks, just cos you can:P

Doin Ooze Pit runs for people can get you 30k per run, plus drops... Once you get good you can do a 30-35 minute run. So that would be 60k just over an hour, maybe hour and half... plus the time it takes you to get people to join. If you do it at the right time during the day, people will join up fast and have a full party within minutes.

What I'm looking at,at moment,is a spot where I initially nailed 110 of something then followed up by 80.Now the value of these pups was roughly 300 gp each.Repeated runs have them being consistent with dropping 30-50 now.Run takes roughly 10 minutes.30x300=9000 per run or about 50k+ an hour.Gimme a little more time before I "flood the market" on this item.But even then thinking the value would still hold at 100 gp each.Making it 3k a run and dropping it to around 15k an hour.

Is it HM or NM?

Would I be right in saying people should sell their D-cores before this farm get out?
Anyway, best steady source of income atm is UW, grab a build that can farm mindblades and you're set.

Destroyer Cores?

I'm 90% sure it's D-cores, but I'm trying to imagine how and where you'd be getting 40 consistantly (as well as a run with 110!!). No other farmable item comes to mind though, so I'm looking forward to hearing more.

Probably some kind of a quest. Gotta do some research
Nightow
If it is D-Cores, there aren't too many places where Destroyers show up.
Few places I can think of where they show up in mass would be...Glint's Challenge A Gate too Far Raven's Point Vision of the Raven Spirit What Lies Beneath G.O.L.E.M. O Brave New World

CoF! What else can i say? Money galore without messing with stupid pugs (In DoA who /rage all the time).

Not... really. At about a 90 sec farm, 150g*40runs = 6k gold an hour.
